As one of the founders of Take a Seat, good mental health is something Chris is passionate about. After spending years in the corporate world he wanted the chance to do something that could make a real difference. Having experienced the benefits of therapy, he wished he hadn’t waited so long to do it and wanted to ‘bring the joy’ to everyone else. He is now on a mission to ensure therapy is not only accessible but that therapists are fully supported on their journey. When he isn’t trying to ‘change the therapy world’ he can be found walking his two Border Terriers, watching Liverpool FC or binging a Netflix boxset.
All our Integrative therapists work to the highest ethical standards and are members of a relevant governing body. Able to support clients in more open-ended therapy by utilising a range of modalities to suit the clients’ needs.
